cartilage fails to mature and mineralize normally. Because the bone is undermineralized it is also soft and ductile‚ and this leads to bowing of the limbs‚ widening and compression of the ends of the long bones‚ etc. In rickets‚ during prolonged deficiency of calcium (and phosphate)‚ the body increases PTH to prevent hypocalcemia by causing osteoclastic absorption of the bone.

LDH couples the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid to the oxidation of NADH to NAD+‚ which allows glycolysis to continue to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen. LDH is a tetramer‚ a protein complex of 4 polypeptide subunits‚ composed either a subunit expressed strongly in the heart‚ H type‚or a subunit that is highly expressed in the muscle‚ M type. There are 5 isozymes of LDH composed the 2 subunit
